Volume 1 Changshui County Handyman Chapter 38 The fog rises again
"Why aren't you leaving yet?"
Seeing that Lu Jiuzhang was still staying where he was, Chen Xuanfeng asked, "Is there anything else you want to report?"
"Master Chen, I want to ask about the two hundred taels of silver..."
Lu Jiuzhang said a little embarrassed.
"It will be distributed together with this month's salary." Chen Xuanfeng said.
This month's salary will be paid next month, so it will take at least half a month.
Lu Jiuzhang couldn't wait so long. If he got the money, he would quickly buy the spiritual grass and improve his strength as soon as possible.
"Master Lu, you know that my family is poor. Especially after my eldest brother passed away, I am even penniless. Even eating is a problem. Do you think you can give me an advance in advance?"
Lu Jiuzhang said angrily.
"puff……"
Chen Xuanfeng almost spat out blood, "You said you were poor?"
Chen Xuanfeng almost wanted to scold her.
When Lu Huaigu died, Lu Jiuzhang received a lot of gifts. In addition to the pension, Chen Xuanfeng estimated that this kid had at least a hundred taels of silver.
In the entire Demon Slayer Division, excluding the Demon Slayer Guards, among the handymen, he probably has the most money.
How dare you pretend to be poor?
Where is the law of heaven?
What do others think?
"Didn't you get a pension before?"
Chen Xuanfeng asked with a frown.
"it took."
Lu Jiuzhang said directly.
"It cost? More than one hundred taels of silver, and you spent it all so quickly?"
Chen Xuanfeng couldn't believe it.
Where is this handyman?
As a dignified deputy director, he usually doesn't spend so much in a month.
"I don't know, Director Chen, but I have fallen in love with a girl from Yihongyuan and want to redeem myself for her. I have been busy doing this for a while."
Lu Jiuzhang told a lie casually.
"So rich!"
Chen Xuanfeng sneered twice.
But after a moment, he seemed to come to his senses and looked at Lu Jiuzhang, "Have you started practicing martial arts?"
this……
How did Chen Xuanfeng know about this?
In an instant, Lu Jiuzhang's expression changed.
Currently, the only people who know about Lu Jiuzhang's martial arts practice are Zhou Cheng and Shopkeeper Chen of Qianji Tower.
Logically speaking, Qianjilou should not announce Lu Jiuzhang's situation, so there will only be one person left - Zhou Cheng.
But why did Zhou Cheng do this?
If you tell Chen Xuanfeng about your martial arts practice, isn't this going to cause trouble for yourself?
In other words, Zhou Cheng is also untrustworthy, and he and Chen Xuanfeng are in the same group?
Faintly, Lu Jiuzhang felt that this possibility was very high.
Even if Lu Jiuzhang becomes stronger, his strength is limited and he is still under Chen Xuanfeng's control.
Now, under Chen Xuanfeng's nose, he arranged for Zhou Cheng to get close to Lu Jiuzhang in order to find out about Lu Jiuzhang at any time.
It’s scary to think about it!
It seems that it is indeed necessary to distance yourself from Zhou Cheng and not stay too close.
"yes!"
Lu Jiuzhang said bravely.
"Okay, I'll give you this money first, and it will be deducted from your salary next month."
Chen Xuanfeng did not refuse, but took out two 100-tael banknotes from his arms and handed them to Lu Jiuzhang.
"This is a bank note from the official bank of Daxia. It can be used throughout Daxia. Don't worry, there won't be any problems."
After saying this, Chen Xuanfeng waved his hand again, indicating that Lu Jiuzhang could leave.
It's just that the doubts in Lu Jiuzhang's heart are getting more and more intense.
Knowing clearly that he practiced martial arts, why did Chen Xuanfeng advance his salary in advance?
Too confident?
Do you think that even if Lu Jiuzhang reaches the ninth level of martial arts, he will not pose any threat to him?
…
Back in the squad room, Lu Jiuzhang now felt that there was something wrong with everyone, and suspected that Chen Xuanfeng had planted him beside him.
Even Wang Yunshan!
Even if Wang Yunshan has a good relationship with his eldest brother Lu Huaigu, would he dare not obey Chen Xuanfeng's order?
Chen Xuanfeng is the deputy director of the Demon Slaying Department and one of the most powerful people in Changshui County.
Wang Yunshan is just a little handyman, Chen Xuanfeng can crush him to death with one hand.
"Brother Lu, are you back?"
Seeing Lu Jiuzhang entering the class room, Wang Yunshan greeted him enthusiastically, "Brother Lu, how are you? Let's go to Yihongyuan together in the evening?"
"I……"
Lu Jiuzhang was going to refuse, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Wang Yunshan, "Don't worry, don't be afraid of spending money, I'll treat you. But can you lend me some silver? I lost again just now."
"Everything I won this afternoon will be lost. You can lend me some first. When I win it back, I will take you there."
What the hell?
Borrowing money again?
Addicted to craps?
Lu Jiuzhang asked, "Brother Wang, after all, how much did you lose?"
"Fifty taels of silver, one month's salary plus extra money is gone." Wang Yunshan felt uncomfortable, with a mournful face, "You lend me some first, and I will play a few more, maybe I can get my money back later."
.”
"Why are you having so much fun today?"
Lu Jiuzhang was a little confused.
Lu Jiuzhang had also observed these people throwing dice before, with a maximum of ten copper coins at a time.
There is no cheating among them. When it comes to gambling, there are losses and wins. Under normal circumstances, the maximum loss is one or two hundred coins.
If you have bad luck all the time and never win once, you will have to spend at most one tael of money gambling from morning until work.
Wang Yunshan actually lost five taels of silver, which was really strange.
"Hey! I won a lot just now." Wang Yunshan sighed, "I wanted to win more, so I increased the bet to a hundred cents per hand. Who knew I lost dozens of them in a row."
This is what you deserve.
Lu Jiuzhang has never been involved in gambling.
On the one hand, nine out of ten gambles result in losses. Even if no one cheats, it is still full of the nature of gambling.
Lu Jiuzhang doesn't like gambling, and he hates risking his life at every turn. It's better to make a decision before taking action.
Secondly, gambling is a waste of time for Lu Jiuzhang.
If you have this time, how about doing something else, practicing cultivation?
"I can lend you some money, but you have to promise me not to gamble anymore."
Lu Jiuzhang took out a tael of silver from his pocket and handed it to Wang Yunshan.
"Ah? Only one or two?"
Wang Yunshan was a little dissatisfied.
"Don't forget it!"
Lu Jiuzhang prepared to take it back.
"If you want to..."
Wang Yunshan quickly took the money.
"Including these two pieces of silver, you already owe me two taels of silver." Lu Jiuzhang added.
"Don't worry, I will definitely pay it back."
Wang Yunshan took the money, turned around and walked towards the gambling table.
Seeing this scene, Lu Jiuzhang knew that what he just said was in vain.
"Boom..."
At this moment, the drums sounded.
A drum sounds, which is the signal to end work.
The handymen in the squad room were all packing up and preparing to leave, and those who had won money by rolling dice also stood up one after another.
Wang Yunshan was very impatient and prepared to drag his colleagues to stay and continue gambling, but those people ignored Wang Yunshan and made excuses one by one and ran away.
You’ve already won money, so what are you going to do if you don’t just slip away? Should you wait and export it later?
When Lu Jiuzhang saw this, he also left, preparing to go to Qianji Tower again.
